5 Games We’re Looking Forward to in October

Fall means three things: Halloween, pumpkin spice lattes, and quality videogames. Here are 5 games we’re looking forward to in October. Oh, and we won’t make you click through five pages to look at the entire list.

5 Games We’re Looking Forward to in October

Mafia III

Developed by 2K Studios’ new development team at Hangar 13, Mafia III brings the open-world gameplay the series is known for to New Bordeaux. Players take control of Vietnam vet Lincoln Clay and his experiences in the seedy underworld. We’re looking forward to experiencing the game’s recreation of New Orleans, and also experiencing the flexibility in play styles.

Mafia III will come out for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 7, 2016.

Gears of War 4

Grab your lancer and get ready to fight – Gears of War is back. Taking place 25 years after the third entry in the series, Gears of War 4’s main man JD Fenix must fight for the ones they love and take down an even greater threat. We’re looking forward to experiencing more of its signature third-person action, and also trying out new weapons like the Buzzkill and Dropshot.

Gears of War 4 will come out for the Xbox One and PC on October 11, 2016.

Titanfall 2

Respawn Entertainment is bringing the Titans back to the battlefield with Titanfall 2. Bringing six all-new Titans, enhanced Pilot abilities, an expanded customization system, and new maps, we’re looking forward to experiencing the expanded features to this first-person deathmatch fest.

Titanfall 2 will come out for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 28, 2016.

Battlefield 1

EA and DICE are taking the Battlefield series back to World War I in the upcoming first-person shooter Battlefield 1. With battles supporting up to 64 players, dynamic weather, and the inclusion of airships, battles look to be on a massive scale. We’re especially looking forward to the new Operations mode, which has players take part in a series of inter-connected multiplayer battles spread across multiple maps.

Battlefield 1 will come out for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 21, 2016.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI

Can you build an empire to stand the test of time? Find out with Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, the latest entry in 2K Games’ strategy title. Spanning a time period from the Stone Age to the Information Age, players can wage war, conduct diplomacy, advance cultures, and go head-to-head with some of history’s greatest leaders. We’re especially looking forward to some of the new tweaks made to the gameplay, including cities that now expand physically across the map, and the ability to achieve victory in one of five different ways.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI will come out for the PC on October 21, 2016.

What we at Gamers Heroes are looking forward to the most:

All of the titles this month are solid, but we at Gamers Heroes are looking forward to the most is Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. The last five titles have been deeply engrossing, and we are sure that Civilization VI will have us begging for just one more turn.
